I feel like this fandom idolizes Ash way too much. It was bad before, but with XY and S&M it feels like it has reached a whole new level. It's like every person that doesnt outright dislike him is obviously obsessed with with him, and every person who does him wrong is evil incarnate.

Living through other people is unhealthy; living through fictional 10-year olds that are stuck in a timeloop is super unhealthy.

Who wouldn't? We all still have fond memories of the first movie, because Mewtwo was just that cool of a pokemon back then. Far cooler then Genesect, but hey.. There has to be differences aren't there? Aside from Genesect being revived and altered, and Mewtwo being an altered clone, which by themselves already warrant completely differing storylines, but it also gives Mewtwo a reason to be the 'thinking'-type, whereas Genesect can just lash out for being revived like every other fossil has done..

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-

I'd think that one enhancement that Plasma made to Genesect would be a computerised brain. Because that cannon and those claws aren't much good if the thing that has them has the IQ of a peanut. Also, as he was feared as the ultimate hunter, I'd say Genesect was smart back then: he'd know how to efficiently kill his prey, hide when neccessary etc.

Shokotan: "And then, in Extremespeed Genesect: The Awakening of Mewtwo, we meet another Mewtwo!"
Yuyama: "Yes, I thought it'd be better if it was a different Mewtwo."

Good for you Yuyama. Too bad you've singlehandedly torpedoed any lingering respect I and anyone else had for you.

yeah, maybe this month will not be as painfully long as i worried it would be!

very interested so putting this question forth here too:

since genesect will also be in the anime, for sure? he could be the first movie pokemon to ACTUALLY be in the anime (not just be alluded to heavily for an episode's plot, i mean show up and be in many episodes) and then also be in a movie.

what are the chances of this movie being a canon continuation of the anime somehow? not saying i expect it, just musing. impossible? possible? meh?

They could be hiding a hint of Gen VI or that a silhouette of Gen VI Pokémon in the poster. Or they have the first few surprises like ether having Mewtwo return, Team Rocket and Team Plasma being in it. We'll just have to see this week.

I'd say very high

I'd also say that Oha Suta is likely to show the poster and a quick trailer on Thursday morning. They usually pre-empt these announcements
